co+labo radović co+labo guest lectures continue with Davisi's Boontharm talk on research
Starting from a premise that, in simplest terms, research is
about acquiring knowledge, this lecture elaborated how to conduct research in
architecture and urban design. In Doing Research, Professor Davisi Boontharm covered the key components of every
research project: formulation of research questions; doing literature review; choosing
and conducting appropriate, qualitative and quantitative, research methods; and
the ways to present research results – at undergraduate and graduate levels.
And, for co+labo significantly, her
particular emphasis was on - how to enjoy doing research!
As Davisi Boontharm is with co+labo since its very foundation, to co+labo members and Keio students she needs no introduction. For the record at this blog it suffices to only remind that is Professor of architecture and urban design at Meiji
University, Tokyo, International Program in Architecture and Urban Design. Her
international career stretches from France, via Thailand, Singapore and
Australia, to Japan. Davisi’s research and teaching are interdisciplinary
and cross-cultural, with strong emphasis on environmental and cultural
sustainability. Her research interests focus on resource approach to urban
requalification and creative milieu. She has published several research books
and a number of academic papers. Her passion for cities also finds its
expression in creative work, with some of her drawings and paintings exhibited in Italy, Japan, Croatia and Slovenia.
